416: Chapter 396: New mber 416: Chapter 396: New mber Su Zhizhu and Baman Zhen, the rcenary duo, had experience in otherworldly battles; their long-term scope of operation had extended far beyond the region of Chang’an.
In a sense, compared to them, Lu Ping’an and the locals who had hardly left the ancient city were indeed country bumpkins who hadn’t seen the world.
As expected, the channels through which both parties received information were not on the sa level…
at least, their focus was different.
On Lu Ping’an’s side, there was official information, but at his level (grassroots executioner), what to do and how to do it, the causes and rumors before and after, required him to fill in the gaps himself.
For the rcenary duo, a chat with their friends would naturally yield information that Lu Ping’an’s side could never access.
“…
There are more than six worlds in the first batch that can be explored.
One of them contains many opportunities but is also extrely dangerous.
We don’t want a useless waste as a team leader, so we’ve done our research.
When we get there, we’ll need this certificate too; it can help us get help from the local garrison.
Having a certificate makes things much more flexible…”
Su Zhizhu hesitated for a mont but finally spoke out.
From her perspective, Lu Ping’an was a necessary collaborator…
Although she was annoyed, she had to admit that this man was much stronger than she had initially estimated.
“…He…
didn’t…
use all his strength…”
The video of the battle was shown to Baman Zhen.
Su Zhizhu originally asked her to help find out if she had any chance of winning; however, the answer was beyond their expectation.
“…He had more power…
He had…
moves…’)
Baman Zhen’s language skills were rather poor; even after trying hard to improve lately, she still spoke unclearly.
But she could tell from Lu Ping’an’s expressions that he was always holding back and had the attitude of ensuring victory from the beginning…
Even when Su Zhizhu was in a desperate situation, Lu Ping’an’s eyes remained calm.
He was confident that his raw strength on the battlefield could crush Su Zhizhu.
“…Interesting…”
This not only aroused Baman Zhen’s fighting spirit, but also forced Su Zhizhu to reassess her attitude towards Lu Ping’an…
She could not escape him; getting the two quota spots by herself was too difficult, and she was still on probation.
If there was any trouble (like attacking her teammate), it would be all in vain.
A helpless Su Zhizhu had to persuade her partner not to directly challenge Lu Ping’an through a duel.
“…I don’t have the specific information about that special world yet, but my friend promised the information at cost.
If you want, I can give it to you at a discount…”
Power is the most convincing proof; either way, she had to reassess her interaction with Lu Ping’an.
At this mont, Su Zhizhu was undoubtedly gritting her teeth and making peace; even though she was beaten by him, she still had to lower her head.
Su Zhizhu felt very wronged…
But could she trust her single-celled partner to handle interpersonal relationships?
It was already good if she didn’t make things worse.
Thinking of the grievances, she sniffed and almost shed tears.
Lu Ping’an was about to speak, but Xia Qin nudged his shoulder and bumped him to the side.
“…Cough, we will be a family in the future, working together; maybe we can collaborate on this certification exam.” Xia Qin took the initiative to speak.
“I want to participate in the exam too, ow!”
With soone taking the lead in welcoming her, the atmosphere naturally beca much warr.
Lu Ping’an, who had been pushed aside, shrugged.
He genuinely hadn’t planned on saying anything strange and was prepared to express goodwill…
He had even planned to find an opportunity to recruit the duo.
“…Find out for if it’s the ‘eting Demons’ ti?”
At this mont, the big cat got excited.
Lu Ping’an did as he was told, but Su Zhizhu’s face changed instantly upon hearing his question.
“…You also have a source of information?”
This was undoubtedly an admission; at this point, Lu Ping’an didn’t answer right away, as he had to deal with the shrieking in his ear.
“We can’t miss this opportunity!
No wonder they’re developing explorers now; this is going to be big…
We must get it, Lu Ping’an!
For others, it’s a small profit, but for us…
for you, it’s an opportunity to soar.”
As for the woman’s question, Lu Ping’an just smiled.
“…By the way, let’s welco our two new mbers who successfully beca full-fledged mbers.”
Lu Ping’an changed the topic and seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it, everyone else let him change the subject.
This matter was indeed worth celebrating.
Previously, Special Service Team Three had a few vacant spots that could be filled with new recruits, and other teams had similar needs.
As a result, a recruitnt eting for selecting outstanding candidates was naturally held…
The backgrounds of Baman Zhen and Su Zhizhu were not strong; in fact, they were sowhat grey.
But they were strong fighters.
Two captain-level combatants willing to sign long-term contracts as team mbers, which ultimately secured them two spots.
Su Zhizhu didn’t originally want to join Special Service Team Three; other teams were also recruiting them.
However, Baman Zhen strongly requested (Weaker, refused), and they finally reluctantly compromised.
Upon their arrival, they received “official positions,” which undoubtedly made so old team mbers feel a little subtle.
“We know they joined to get the qualifications, but for as old team mbers who have experienced life and death, we should not miss this opportunity.
There’s no reason to prioritize outsiders for good things while forgetting about our own brothers…”
Other team captains also made suggestions, and it got a bit noisy for a while.
So the Bureau of Anomaly Managent temporarily approved a batch of “regular positions”.
Xia Qin made an effort to secure two for Special Service Team Three.
“Thank you, everyone…
I didn’t expect to have a lucky day for once…” This one was probably really excited, and their voice even choked up a bit.
“Uh, I bit my tongue..” Well, it turns out it wasn’t excitent.
Unlucky as always, Xue En didn’t plan on taking the exam because he didn’t plan on leading a team …
and probably no one wanted to follow him if he did.
But at this ti, resolving his identity would be a good thing, as the special agent status is now more valuable than before.
“Thank you, ow!”
The other lucky one naturally was the favorited ow because of Xia Qin’s affection.
In reality, she was the luckiest one.
Her performance and experience weren’t enough, but she managed to seize the opportunity.
She planned to take the exam, but even she wasn’t very confident.
As for Hua senior sister and Miss Lo, they were interested but eventually gave up after consultation.
They were not interested in becoming “official personnel.”
Besides, joining now definitely requires signing a long-term contract, which would disrupt their already-initiated professional plans.
However, they will definitely take the Secret Keeper qualification exam, which is a prerequisite for their “company” opening.
Counting it all up, quite a few people in the small office of Special Service Team Three were preparing to take the qualification exam.
“Will it affect the work?”
“It’s only a month…Many troubleso people will also go take the exam.
Our recent missions have decreased a lot.”
“Didn’t they say only official-background people could take the exam…”
“…Rules can only stop most people who are not skilled enough; so people cannot be stopped.
We, the special agents, have opened the door to convenience; other organizations are the sa…”
So things were too complicated to explain, and listing them would be frustrating and unclear.
But as a result, the status of the special agent team had clearly risen.
At least, a cold reception at the Gourt Association like what happened to Lu Ping’an last ti should not happen again.
However, Lu Ping’an himself probably had no more ti to consider these matters.
They would soon depart for the State.
Besides his endless howork, he also needed to complete several necessary adjustnts and preparations.
“Let’s complete the Runner Advancent and the second Self-cursing before leaving.”
Lu Ping’an has already completed his first Self-cursing…
Underneath his clothes, his skin’s surface now shows a very faint light green under sunlight.
“Body Planting” curse was considered complete, but it didn’t an it was over.
As a professional self-curse, it is similar to a talent self-curse.
It is an ongoing deepening process.
As ti progresses and his abilities improve, this curse will naturally beco stronger…
and if you add money, the benefits will be greater, and the side effects will be smaller.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing ‘Ancient Tree Curse (Phase One, Brass) ‘, obtaining the passive talent ability ‘Ancient Tree’s Heart (Brass, three basic branches)’ Physical strength has increased moderately, Reflex has slightly dropped.]
Well, the most desirable growth in reflex not only did not improve, but it also dropped a level drastically.
However, as a trade-off, the new passive talent Ancient Tree’s Heart is quite useful, with three basic branches, each more practical than the last.
” …
This round, I guess it’s considered not losing by force.”
